Community Participation Committees for Health
The Community Participation in Health Committees are spaces that bring together representatives of the main local authorities, of local health directorates, social organizations related to health programs, the productive sector and the educational sector; in order to discuss plans, programs, projects and diagnoses related to health, as well as to monitor and supervise the resources that are assigned and invested in this sector. These Committees were legally established in 1994, opening the possibility of their creation in all the municipalities of Colombia.
